"The tale of the common soldier who is about to be buried with honors but who, on investigation, turns out to be the same fall-guy throughout the world's history, dragging his wife along with him. As a matter of fact, the general we first meet, the one who is so busy arranging the television cameras correctly, turns out as well to be the same indifferent and reckless warrior throughout history. And the same priest keeps turning up too. Over and over the same wars recur and the same common soldier is buried with honors after death."--Publisher's description.

From service as ambassador to the Soviet Union and Romania, and from being press secretary to Pierre Trudeau to heading the Canada Council, Roberts "has seen it all"... and he tells it all in an engaging and chatty series of mini essays all woven into a narrative of our times.

Sir Peter Ustinov's beautifully crafted autobiography is told with exquisite wit and insight. From his birth in April 1921, it spans his extraordinary career as actor, playwright, film star and director, confirming his early belief that he is 'irrevocably betrothed to laughter'. Ustinov's renowned gift for mimicry is exploited to the full in Dear Me. Eccentric relatives, school masters, sergeant majors and manic Hollywood moguls are all brought unforgettably to life.
